Lime is used most abundantly where
the soil is full of limestone, and the
reason is that the abundant limestone
makes the lime cheap. for limestone il
heavy. and the cost Of its carriage and
handling is considerable. Where lime
stone is not found it is best to bring
in lime. because the lime from two
thousand pounds of limestone weighs
only eleven hundred pounds, and
there is large saving of cost in the
carriage.
Lime is one Of the most valuable OF
all plant foods. because of its preva-
lence in the ash of all plants, and for
other reasons. viz. that it exerts .
favorable effect upon the silicate COM
binations in the soil, dissolvinS and
uniting with the silica, and releasing
potash, soda magnesia and phos-
phoric acid, which are al foods for
plants, and also that it quickly disor.
ganizes carbOnaceous matter In the
soil. freeing its nitrogenous elements
and forming the formation of soluble
nitrates. which are of the highest inn
portance in their relations to plant
growth. 1t is almost certain that
lime is the most active progenitor Of
the nitrogen required for the growth
of clover; for where lime is regularly
used clover grows to pei lection. and

boro and Whitney, Texas, Is the possessor
of variegated voice. He usually begins
speaking In very high, aspirate voice,
and when about half through the sentence
falls to . very deep bass. In which he fin
ishes.
Ono day in returning from Whitney his
team ran away. threw Ben out in the
mud, and turned the light covered hack
which he was driving over on him In such
. manner that, although uninjured, he
was unable to get from under 1t.
While he was there stranger came by,
when the following conversation took
place:
Ben I'm his fine voice): "Hello, mister,
will you please git down an raise this
back up SO as I can git out?"
Stranger: Ives, guess ! can, but how
did you get under there2"
Ben I'm his coarse bass voice): "The
horses ran away, and turned the hack
over on me-"
Stranger: "Lookee here; II there are
two or three of you under there, you are
able to raise that hack yourselves. and I
am not going to get down In the mud to
help YOU"
And away he rode, leaving Poor Ben to
get out the best way he could.

Nashville.
When the waiter handed the rustic the
bill of fare. he glanced over it and re-
marked:
Johnny. Just bring 'em all in. I'm
gosh burned hungry, and just got in
Nashville"
The waiter grinned. and, after being
gone for a few minutes, returned with
dishes that made great semi-circle
around the strangers plate. He counted
them all over, and then, with u doubtful
look, remarked:
"Look here, waiter, don't see any pie,
and I'm mighty fond Of pie. too"
"Say, mister, we don't set no pie for
breakfast Mt this hotel. Only have pie
FOR dinner"
The country gentleman, with look OF
